I know this one has been beat to death but once again can some of you fine folks post your favorite (I didn't say "pet" this time  ) loads for your .475 Linebaugh guns? Thanks! |

14.0gr of HS6 and a 375gr LFN bullet produces 1050fps or so and is heavy enough to kill anything and light enough to still enjoy shooting the gun...

Perfect!
Have a HS-6 load for 425gn LBT about the same speed?

X2 on the HS6!!! My goto load is 14-15 grains of HS6 under a 400 grain LFN. Been playing with a 385 Grain hollow point mold now over the same dose of HS6. Like Fowler says it will take care of anything in North America and still shoot them in bulk with no problem.

Same load with the 425. I get about 1100 with the 385 and about 1050 with the 425 with a 5.5" barrel. 15 grains takes it up to around 1170 for the 385 grainer. This is with WLP primer

26.5 grains of 296 behind a 420 grain WFN. That gives me right around 1,350 fps. Deadly accurate and deadly effective on game.

These were run in a 6" Linebaugh Bisley.
12.0 of Unique and a LEE 400 grain bullet will run 1080 fps.
5.0 of Trailboss and the LEE 400 grain bullet will run 610 fps
These were run in a 5 1/2" FA 83
11.0 of Unique and a 410 LBT LFN. 1008 fps
25.0 of WW296 and a 410 LBT LFN. 1292 fps

For top end loads, I just see how much H110 will fit under the bullet without compression by marking the depth of the bullet, base to crimp groove, on a dowel rod then filling the case with H110 until the rod sits on top of the powder and the mark lines up with the mouth of the case. Weigh that charge and load the rest to that weight.

I like these:
26.0 of H110/W296 and a 400 WFN for around 1300 fps
15.0 of HS-6 same bullet for around 1100 fps
9.0 0f W231 same bullet for around 900 fps

When I asked Dustin for his load recommendations for the 475 he is building me, he said:
425gr LFN bullets
24 grains H110 for the warmer load
14 grains HS6 for the softer load
I've not got her back yet to see how those shoot in my gun, but the ammo is loaded and waiting.

For a fun plinking load, Load a 45 ACP case base first into the 475 case, that's after dropping 10.0 grs. 231 powder. Pest and or short range Varmint load. At 15' will penetrate about 2 1/2 2x4's. Accurate to about 50-75'...
Bell 475 case mouth to accept 45ACP case, seat to AOL that will function in your cylinder.Only needs enough crimp to straighten 475 case.
This was shown to me by Jim Taylor.
